Years after the fall of Harvey Dent and Batman's decision to take on the burden of his crimes, Gotham City enjoys a fragile peace under Dent’s law. However, that respite is threatened when a new villain, Bane—an enigmatic and brutal mercenary—emerges from the shadows with the mission of dismantling everything that Gordon, Dent, and the Batman himself have worked to build.
Caught up in his own demons, Bruce Wayne has withdrawn, isolating himself from society and his role as Gotham's protector. But when Bane launches a devastating attack on the city, the hero must rise from the ashes, facing not only a physically formidable enemy but also his own fears and limitations. As Bane unleashes chaos and manipulates the city, Bruce finds unexpected allies in Selina Kyle, a cunning thief with her own agenda, and in the new police commissioner, John Blake, who firmly believes in Batman's legacy.
The challenge is monumental: he must confront an enemy who wants to break not just his body but also his spirit. With the city in chaos and a past that haunts him, Bruce has to rediscover what it means to be a hero. In a struggle where hope and despair collide, Gotham must decide between accepting its fate or fighting for its freedom.
